Prediction: Miss Valley St Delta Devils VS Kansas St Wildcats 2025-12-08
Kansas State vs. Mississippi Valley State: A Cakewalk for the Wildcats (Literally, If They Baked a Cake)
The Kansas State Wildcats (5-4) host the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils (1-8) on Monday, December 8, 2025, in a game so lopsided it makes a penguin learning to fly look balanced. Let’s break down why this is a must-see spectacle—though “see” might be generous.
Parse the Odds: A Statistical Car Wash for Kansas State
The line has Kansas State as a 37.5-point favorite, a spread so vast it could fit a minivan, a family reunion, and a confused squirrel. Converting that to implied probability (using decimal odds from the bookmakers), Kansas State’s chance of winning is roughly 92% (assuming 1.91 decimal odds ≈ 52.4% implied probability, but let’s just say “over 50%” and call it a day).
Kansas State’s home court is a fortress: 4-2 at Bramlage Coliseum, with a Big 12-leading 18.1 assists per game. Star point guard PJ Haggerty dishes out 5.3 assists while dropping 23.6 points per game—like a one-man conga line of destruction. The Wildcats shoot 48.0% from the field, a mark that makes Mississippi Valley State’s defense look like a sieve someone forgot to weave.
Meanwhile, the Delta Devils are the NBA G League of college basketball. They score 69.1 points per game (323rd nationally) and allow 88.4 (359th). Their road record? A comically bleak 0-6. Their last win? A home game so ancient it’s already been erased from the team’s collective memory.
Digest the News: Haggerty’s Growing Pains and Delta’s GPS Issues
Kansas State’s recent losses aren’t due to a lack of effort, per coach Jerome Tang, but “a lack of execution.” Translation: They’re turning the ball over like it’s a hot potato at a family feud. In their last game, they scored seven points off 22 turnovers—a stat that makes you wonder if they’re playing basketball or a chaotic game of keep-away. Star guard PJ Haggerty, whose scoring average dipped from 25.1 to 23.6, is being urged to “involve teammates more.” Easy for Tang to say—Haggerty’s probably like, “Coach, I’m passing everything. My teammates think I’m a mailman.”
Mississippi Valley State? They’re the team that needs a GPS to find the gym, let alone a win. In their last game, they shot 3 of 17 from three (17.6%) against Louisiana-Monroe—a performance so惨 it made their coach, George Ivory, mutter, “This is going to challenge our team.” Their nonconference schedule? A gauntlet of Florida State, West Virginia, and Oklahoma. Spoiler: They’ll need to invent time travel to beat them.
Humorous Spin: A Game of “Who’s the Real Underdog?”
Imagine this game as a mismatched boxing match: Kansas State is Mike Tyson, and Mississippi Valley State is a pug wearing a boxing glove. The Wildcats’ offense is a well-oiled cafeteria lunch line—efficient, relentless, and always hungry. The Delta Devils’ defense? A sieve that also doubles as a sieve-shaped hat for the wind.
PJ Haggerty is like a magician who only pulls out dollar bills… but forgot to bring any money. Mississippi Valley’s star, Michael James, averages 19.7 points—but good luck keeping up with a team that shoots 41.3% from the field. That’s like trying to win a race while wearing a fanny pack filled with bricks.
And let’s not forget the spread: -37.5. That’s not a point line—it’s a laughing line. If Kansas State covers, they’ll set a record for “Most Points Scored While Forgetting to Trip Over Their Own Feet.”
Prediction: Cover the Spread or Get a Refund
Kansas State wins this by 40+ points, assuming they don’t spend the entire game practicing free throws (they missed 20 in their last loss). The Wildcats’ home-court advantage, superior shooting, and the Delta Devils’ inability to defend basic pick-and-rolls make this a statistical certainty.
Final Score Prediction: Kansas State 89, Mississippi Valley State 50.
Bet on Kansas State to cover the spread, unless you enjoy the thrill of watching a team lose while wondering if they’ve secretly switched to a practice squad. And if you’re feeling adventurous, take the Under 158.5—because this game will be over by halftime, and the second half will just be the Wildcats perfecting their no-look passes to the stands.
